murder ballad

Hey mate, stop wondering

let’s go for a sad ride
just you and me

do some hill repeats at Mt Despair

take some shots of us and our bikes from that Lighthouse Cape

You’re just a bastard kid,
And you got no name
Cause you’re riding with me
We’re one and the same

then I’ll show you some new roads

you see, I won’t forget how you left me standing there
and went dancing with her

and right there,
when I saw you dancing

I understood

what you two had was love.

Oh can’t you see
she’s a mistake

and I am too

There are no indisputable truths

And there ain’t no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don’t ask much

if she’ll ever hurt you again

I’ll take her to the Lake

and I swear I’ll drown her and her stupid yellow bike

I don’t know why and I don’t know how
But you’re nobody’s baby now
